GetURL not working off CD

I have this simple code on a button and all seemed to be
working well until I cut the movie to CD. From the CD I click on
the button and nothing happens. I am not sure what additional
information to provide so please ask me for the whatever you may
need to assist. Thanks in advance.
on (release){
getURL("docs/tm9-2815-257-24.swf","_blank")
}

Hi
Having the same problem here...
You can't use absolute path because you dont know drive letters, you can't infere CD is grabbing D: letter, or E:
Relative path is not working for me too, dunno why :/
i'm working in a CD too, but my animation is having clicks only, so i tried
on(release) {
getURL("./33903.htm", "_self");
my flash file is in that folder, one level up, not working thought XD

GetURL not working in IE 8 or Firefox 3

I am trying to create a button which links to another website upon clicked. My code is as follows:
on(release) {
getURL("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank");
However, this does not work as the button act as if no event has been triggered. I am using Flash CS4 and my movie was exported for actionscript 2. I have attached the fla for your reference. Thanks in advance.

I'm going through Classroom in a Book for ActionScript 3.0 and I'm having the same problems. I beat my brains out trying to figure out why my simple link to the Flash site wouldn't work, only to find out the completed files didn't work either. They do seem to work in Safari so I'm guessing it's some kind of security setting ? It lauches the browser but just sits there without opening any URL.
Anyone got an answer for this ?

Geturl not working of ferris wheel effect

Hi,
Thanks to Rob i have managed to get the effect i want and he
has kindly given me the code to add a geturl to each of the images
on the ferris wheel effect. The only thing is that when i view it
it does not work so maybe i am missing somthing, see what you guys
think:
// create an onRelease function for each of the movieClips in
the
//objectsInScene array...
for (i in objectsInScene) {
objectsInScene.onRelease = function() {
useLink(this);
// this function will figure out which pane was clicked on
and execute a
//getURL for a specific URL...
//substitute your own urls...
function useLink(thisOne) {
switch (thisOne) {
case theScene.pane :
getURL("firstURL.html", "_blank");
break;
case theScene.pane1 :
getURL("secondURL.html", "_blank");
break;
case theScene.pane2 :
getURL("thirdURL.html", "_blank");
break;
case theScene.pane3 :
getURL("fourthURL.html", "_blank");

Javascript calls via getURL not working anymore

After upgrading to flash player 9,0,115,0 a simple call like
getURL("javascript(alert'message')); doesn't work anymore on
Internet Explorer (it fails without any error in policyfiles.txt,
but it still work on Firefox). My IE version is 7.
I can't use ExternalInterface 'cause i need to publish as
Flash Player 7 AS2.0.
Any comment or suggestion?

I have a similar problem. When running a local HTML file,
using IE7 and FP 9,0,115,0, all the getURL function calls cease to
work.
If I downgrade to FP8, still using IE7, everything works.
If I downgrade to IE6, still using FP9.0.115.0, everything
works.
If I load the HTML via HTTP (instead of local), using IE7 and
FP9.0.115.0, everything works.
If I use Firefox, with FP9.0.115.0, everything works.
So, the function calls fail only when the swf is contained on
a
local HTML file, using
IE7, and
FP9.0.115.0. The problem is, most of our customers have that
software profile, and all of them need to load the content locally
(its very heavy for network transmission).
All the getURLs are like this:
getURL("javascript:someFunction()");
We're setting the 'allowScriptAccess' to 'always'.
Also, if we put the OBJECT tag inside the HTML (instead on an
external JS file), the function calls still do not work.

Ipod will not work off charger

My ipod works fine while on the charger but when off it just will not work, I have to let it sit 2 days for it to work again on the charger so what is it

I just got help from the Apple Support on this. This just happened to me and thought I would share the solution. Hope you have saved all your iPod data because you have to restore all data.
Step 1: Toggle the on/off hold switch and then restart (center and menu together) until the screen goes blank.
Step 2: Immediately, while the screen is blank, hold the center and pause/play. That turns the iPod in disk mode.
Step 3: Plug in your iPod into your computer to restore it.
Problem solved...

HELLLLLLLP! GetURL not working!!!

Hello All,
I'm working in CS3. and have created buttons using the
following code:
myButton_btn.onRelease=function(){
getURL("
http://www.arcticfalls.com/home-Water.html/",
"_self");
The page is not found when clicked. Here's what it is going
on in the address bar.
http://02aa6aa.netsolstores.com/page-not-found.aspx?404;http://www.arcticfalls.com:80/home -Water.html/
Page Not Found
The page you have requested cannot be found or has been
removed. Please use the menus provided to navigate this store.
Seems it is adding a :80 after the .com.
Any ideas... or am I using the wrong code.
This worked prior to adding the full link to page:
myButton_btn.onRelease=function(){
getURL("
http://www.arcticfalls.com/",
"_self");
Direct links to website work... why is the direct link not
working?
It used to work the same way a couple versions back.
Any help is appreiciated.
Thanks,
dbrox08

It should be like this:
myButton_btn.onRelease=function(){
getURL("
http://www.arcticfalls.com/home-Water.html",
"_self");
The "/" shouldnt be in the end of the URL.

Button with GetURL not working

HI,
I have made a button symbol (trying to make a skip intro
button) which is just unselectable text. I have made all 4 states
including the hit state.
I have used the either
on (release) {
getURL("who.html", "_self");
or
getURL("who.html", "_self");
Nothing works when i click the link,. I know the button works
because my over state happens.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple. I have done this all
the time and I actually have a getURL that works but its not on a
button, its just at the end of the flash.

this is a scope issue, unless the swf file is mounted online,
it wont' be able to open a relative path. If you want to test the
swf from your local machine, mount the 'who.html' online and then
use a fully-qualified path as in:
getURL( '
http://www.thedomain.com/who.html'
, '_self');
(if in the root directory folder)

GetURL not working on all computers?

I have a banner with a link to a site, but it won't activate
on most browsers. On my computer it works on Firefox or Safari, but
for most other people, clicking has no effect. Maybe it's a Flash
setting, or a Flash player setting? How can I change this so that
when people click they get redirected?
Thank you

Hi Jean,
Actually, we have an issue with scalable HTML content and smartshapes where smartshapes do not work as buttons in scaled mode.
Please try switching off the "Scalable HTML Content" option in the Publish dialog before publishing. Then it should work.

GetURL not working when swf is loaded into another swf

Ok, I need some help for something relatively simple which
for some reason I've not been able to find any information on at
all?
Hopefully it will be something easy to fix.
Essentially I have the following:
my main movie "Home.swf"
another movie "Sub.swf"
I've loaded "Sub.swf" into "Home.swf" via an empty movieclip.
Within "Sub.swf" I have some links which when clicked call
getURL and open a HTML page in the browser.
But for some reason the getURL isn't working and I believe
its because the getURL is called from a loaded movie within
"Home.swf".
I've tried changing the actionscript to:
_root.getURL('/mypage.html');
_parent.getURL('/mypage.html');
but neither (_root / _parent) seems to work?
Need help here please.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
M.

Hi kglad,
Yes the button is definitely firing ok.
In the "Sub.swf" movie, on the second frame of the timeline
(the first frame is some preloader code) there is the following
code:
imgMC.mascara.onPress = function() {
//trace('mc[activo] = ' + mc[activo]);
switch(mc[activo])
case _level0.imgMC.MC0:
trace('0 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC1:
trace('1 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC2:
trace('2 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC3:
trace('3 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC4:
trace('4 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
case _level0.imgMC.MC5:
trace('5 - ' + mc[activo])
break;
If I run this movie in Flash (ctrl-enter) then the trace
works fine.
But the trace stops working when I run the main "Home.swf"
movie in Flash (ctrl-enter) when the "Sub.swf" is loaded into an
empty movie clip.
And when I change the trace for a getURL and test in a
browser it still doesn't work?
What do you reckon?
Thanks.
M.

GetURL - not working in IE

I have a file in the root of a web server and prior to Flash
Player 9 (I believe this to be the culprit) I was able to simply
attach the following code to a button and the file would download
(it will work in Mozilla browsers, just not IE):
on(release){
getURL("file.zip", _blank);
Any ideas?

I removed _blank and it works now.

GETURL not working in exported movie

I hate to beat a dead horse but I'm at my wit's end. I've
tried everything I have read online and it still doesn't work...
I have created a keyframe at the end of my flash with...
getURL("www.blahblahblah.ca/underconstruction.html");
I export the flash and then in my web page builder I add a
flash to the main site www.blahblahblah.ca/index.html
the flash plays wonderfully but then the next page doesn't
load.
all I want to do is have a webpage come up AFTER the flash
plays.
somebody please help !!!!

make sure you put
http:// before www.blahblahblah.ca/index.html
maybe thats why it doesn't work

GetURL not working without WWW in web address

Been banging my head against this forever. Running a SWF banner running AS2.0. If you view the banner's page with www before it, it works fine. If you visit the url WITHOUT the www the geturl script doesnt work at all
http://www.maxtool.com - works
http://maxtool.com - doesnt work
I've tried changing the allow access setting from domain only to always and I changed the actionscript to be document relative instead of a full link and none of that has fixed the problem.
Anyone ever encounter this?

that probably is causing a security sandbox error. those 2 urls look like different domains to flash.
use cross-domain security files to remedy.

GetURL not working in Mac IE5

I've been told that a Flash navigation I worked on is not
functioning in IE 5 for Mac. I know what you're thinking... who
uses IE 5 for Mac these days? So anyway, I've been asked to fix it
and cannot seem to find anything with my searches. Maybe I'm using
too many key words in my search. I don't know.
It works in FF, Safari on Mac and FF, IE on PC. I am using
the most recent version of swfObject in the page. I've published to
FP 6 and it's using AS 2.0.
I'm basically just throwing this out there to see if anyone
remembers this being an issue.

Just a thought, aniebel, but maybe IE5 can handle SWFObject
script? Have you tried embedding with a <embed> or
<object> tag? Maybe you could set up a JS browser version
reader script and fire it only in that instance? I dunno?
